hold back the merman

"So I'm not as strong as I imagined." Xia Jinnian thought that he had died once, and death was just that, and there was nothing to be afraid of.But in this life, watching his time limit gradually shorten, Xia Jinnian couldn't help being afraid, afraid that one day he would lie down and never wake up again.At first, he thought it was because he had become weak, but Xia Jinnian later realized that it was not that he had become weak, but that he had a lot of concerns in his heart, and that he had such nostalgia for this world when he had someone who wanted to be with him for the rest of his life. .

Ness never thought that one day he would really meet that idiot, but in the dangerous forest of death, he met the female boy who would never appear in such a dangerous place.When he saw the four bodyguards beside the boy, Nais suddenly realized and smiled.I finally understood why the mermaid, which was reared as fragile as a vase and would break when touched, appeared here, but it was undeniable that this young man who took pictures indifferently was much more courageous than ordinary flowers raised in greenhouses.

"You are so brave. I didn't expect to meet my kind in this kind of place. My name is Ness, what about you?"

Xia Jinnian, who was taking pictures of an unusually beautiful one-meter-high flower, hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the young man with a beautiful face like an elf who greeted him with light blue shoulder-length hair.Looking at the slender Bai Zhe's powerful hand extended by the other party, Xia Jinnian frowned slightly and shook hands with the other party, "Xia Jinnian."

Normally, if someone he didn't know stretched out his hand, Xia Jinnian would not necessarily hold the other's hand, but today this person inexplicably gave Xia Jinnian an urge to get close.While shaking hands with each other, Ness, who was as beautiful and holy as an elf, also frowned, "Your physical condition is very bad. If there is anything on your mind, it's better to settle it as soon as possible."

Xia Jinnian withdrew his hand vigilantly, "Who are you?" If Xia Jinnian didn't feel the slightest malice in the other party, Xia Jinnian would not let the other party approach, but it also doesn't mean that the other party is trustworthy.This kind of guy who knows his physical condition by shaking hands should not be underestimated.

"Oh, don't be nervous, I didn't say that we are the same kind." Nass said, pushing the black top hat on his head lightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile that was not a smile, "Little cutie, give me the precious seven-colored shark bead." Who is it? It seems that there is no such person in here!"

"You...you're a mermaid?" Xia Jinnian couldn't be sure that the man without the female mark in front of him was a mermaid, and there was a powerful vitality from him that didn't belong to a mermaid female. It was the smell of freedom and the smell of the ocean. "You are a primitive mermaid."

"Yes and no, cutie, I am a noble royal family like you among the mermaids, but the difference is that your blood is not as pure as mine." A mermaid that cannot survive in the ocean is like a goshawk that has lost its wings. It can no longer be called a mermaid.Even the characteristics of the mermaid are blurred in this kind of place.It is really a kind of luck to meet a similar person who inherits the inheritance of the colorful merman. The chance of this is almost zero.

"Is it really okay to tell me this secret?" The Seven-Colored Merman Bead has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Traveling alone with such a rare treasure on my body, it is not obvious to tell others to come and snatch me.

"What's wrong, cutie, you also know why the shark bead is pulled out of the body, it's impossible to kill the 'fish' to get the 'bead', isn't it?" Naith said with a nonchalant smile, "Little cutie, do you want to leave here with me and return to our mermaid country?" Lovesickness, depression, dragging such a body, and the rescued object is obviously not by the other party's side, presumably met a Wretched man!

"No, this is my hometown, and there are people I love."

"Then it's okay to go to our mermaid country for a while, and meet real mermaids by the way. It's much more interesting than here, how about just relaxing?"

Xia Jinnian smiled with a pale face, "Nice, you have seen my physical condition. Is it true that the mermaid who lost the seven-colored shark bead can't live for three months?" Even knowing that his physical condition is getting worse day by day, But Xia Jinnian couldn't help but still have expectations.

"The mermaid who lost the seven-colored shark bead can't live for three months, so..."

With the breeze blowing, Xia Jinnian flicked the contact terminal in his hand after saying goodbye to Nice.Liu Hai covered his eyes so that he couldn't see his expression, and it took a long time for the corner of his mouth to curl into a heartbreaking smile, "Let's go."

The top of the sky.Moon Cliff.

Xia Jinnian regards this place as the last stop of his travels. In the quiet night, he can hear the sound of the night wind blowing through the trees on both sides of Moon-watching Cliff. The bright moon in the night sky exudes silvery brilliance, as if it is within reach.Tomorrow is the last day of the three-month period, and Xia Jinnian did not stay in a hotel for the last night, but chose to spend it by the edge of Moon-watching Cliff.Thinking of nothing, sitting on the big rock by the edge of Moon-watching Cliff with his back leaning against a big tree, listening to the rustling sound of leaves swaying, he fell asleep unknowingly.

The first ray of sunlight in the sky pierces the night and shines on the ground. When the morning sun slowly rises from the horizon, the not-so-warm light shines on the valley where the morning mist has not dispersed. From the high Moon-watching Cliff, everything looks hazy and beautiful.Ouyang Mingyue looked down at the beautiful valley where birds were singing from time to time, using the fire ability to keep her body as warm as a stove, looking down at the sleeping person in her arms, her eyes showed helpless connivance and unspeakable distress.

Xia Jinyou yawned, moved her sore neck, and yawned slowly away from the stove.Because of his subtle movements, the tightly-protected jacket slowly fell to the ground.

"Sloth, wake up."

When the familiar voice came to his ears, the dazed Xia Jinnian suddenly widened his eyes, and there was a magnified familiar handsome face close at hand.After rubbing his eyes uncertainly to confirm that the person in front of him was not a hallucination, Xia Jinnian suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'll take you home." Ouyang Mingyue said with a smile, but she still didn't let go of the hand that was tightly wrapped around Xia Jinnian's waist. Instead, she forcefully pulled the person who had just left her side into her arms. "I'm sorry, I won't let you go again." Ouyang Mingyue, whose chin was pressed tightly against the neck of the person in his arms, took a deep breath, sniffing the fragrance of Xia Jinnian's body almost greedily, "I'm sorry, I already know .No amnesia, I lied to you."

I thought I would never see you again, but fortunately I finally found you.I thought you really chose Nangong Ze. I didn’t want you to use the guise of amnesia so that you can be with him without any burden because I feel guilty about your feelings. I didn’t want to because my self-righteousness is when you need it most. , hurt you badly by pushing you away.

In three months, Ouyang Mingyue used all the connections in Ouyang's family to find every corner of Atlantis. As the time shortened, she became more restless and on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, she finally found the most important person in her life. "Don't leave me again, let me stay with you, okay?"

"Nan Gongze told you." Xia Jinyou sighed young, not knowing whether to be lucky or regretful.Looking at Mingyue's downcast and dispirited appearance, who didn't care about his beard, and his obviously thin figure, Xia Jinnian knew how anxious she was about him without thinking about it. "Don't worry, I won't leave you again. Even if you don't come, I plan to go back today."

"I have good news for you. I met a primitive mermaid, and he happened to be a colorful merman like me. Do you remember the things recorded in the book? He told me that the colorful merman could not survive three times without the merman beads. The moon is false, and the colorful merman who lost the merman beads just completely lost the qualification to swim in the water, and will never be able to return to the sea. Maybe this is fatal to the primitive mermaids living in the ocean, but for us It doesn't matter much to mermaids who live on the shore." As for the matter of vomiting blood, Xia Jinnian didn't mention it in front of Mingyue, it's too embarrassing for him to vomit blood caused by heart disease caused by lovesickness and excessive worry. up.

"The records on the continent of Atlantis are also correct. The first generation of mermaids who lost the mermaid beads died within three months. Ness said that the first generation of mermaids was the little prince of the royal family back then. He loves to hear mermaid stories and yearns for love. He was indeed happy when he left the palace to marry his former partner. But when he gave birth to a child and exposed his identity as a mermaid, it became the beginning of misfortune. Human greed plunders mermaids , it was almost a crushing blow to those mermaids who had internal and external troubles back then, but it was his most trusted husband who exposed the existence of mermaids to humans."

"The little prince, who was already fragile after giving birth to a child, received a huge blow physically and mentally from this incident. And when he saw the first group of companions who were forcibly plundered ashore, they refused to die and were thrown into the wilderness. After being bitten to pieces by wild beasts, The little prince stood next to the broken corpse and shed bright red tears of blood. That day, even the mermaids in the depths of the ocean heard the mermaid hymn of life sacrifice, which is the mermaid’s confession song.”

"After handing over the pink pearl to his husband, the little prince's body became weak and thin at a frightening speed. His hair and scales began to fall off, and finally he passed away in less than three months. The primitive mermaid has a powerful Self-healing ability, as long as it is not a fatal injury, it will be healed by itself in the end, and the lifespan of the original colorful merman ranges from 1000 to 3000 years, so the little prince who died quickly sacrificed his life, and he will not die until he dies. He didn’t return to his former home—the ocean.” Because he was a sinner, he had already been expelled by the mermaids, and he knew that he would never go back.
